POLL: Grade the Chargers pick of LB Uchenna Nwosu

The Chargers drafted former USC linebacker Uchenna Nwosu at No. 48 overall. Los Angeles went in their backyard to nab Nwosu as he didn’t play that far from the Bolts there in Southern California.

Having an all-around linebacker who can rush the passer, stop the run and drop back into coverage was something Los Angeles needed to address and Nwosu possesses the versatility to do just that.

Nwosu is a very productive player who jumps off the screen almost every game because of his high motor, plays with speed and swarms the football nearly every play. L.A.’s defensive coordinator Gus Bradley should be looking forward to moving him across the field and utilizing him as another chess piece.

The Bolts received a B grade from Chargers Wire for their selection of the talented former Trojan linebacker. Chargers fans, tell us what you think about Los Angeles selecting Nwosu by voting in the poll below.
